Rania's Invisible Search
PART 159 WEIGHT CHOICES?
"What are you thinking about?" I asked her to look at her face.
Mbok Genuk did not immediately answer my question, he still lowered his head before he finally said something.
"We can ask for help on the figure of buto ireng known Lala. Because it seems, with the help of Buto Ireng known Lala. We can thwart Sumitro's plan to subvert the descendants of Pramono and Wati. Although not necessarily both will have offspring this year. It would be better if we made Sumitro pay for all his crimes. Let him be devoured by Buto ireng whom he adores."
"Is Mbok Genuk sure that the Buto ireng that Lala knows is not what Mr. Mitro worships as well?"
Ma'am Ayu seemed silent listening to our chat. He seemed to be wondering what would happen next.
"I'm sure Nduk. Buto ireng not all prey on human life. It depends on the beliefs of the king of buto itself. Buto Ireng is known to Lala, is part of his past. I know he once gave a descendant to that buto ireng. That's why I'm sure, if the buto Lala knows isn't allied with Sumitro. Buto Ireng who has a good relationship with humans, will not prey on other human lives. They must be from a different kingdom. But if Lala wanted to, she could ask for help so that buto ireng prey on Sumitro or Kartika."
"Hmm I understand now. So we ask Lala for help, so that the buto ireng who used to be her supernatural husband asked the buto ireng who allied with Mr. Mitro to take the life of Mr. Mitro or Kartika, so that Pramono can also recover from his mental disability. That way Pramono's married life with Wati can run as it should. Is that Mbok?" Sahut Mbak Ayu flicking his finger.
"True, you did respond quickly. Maybe it's because in your body there's another person who sometimes possesses you!"
Me and Mbak Ayu are both surprised, where Mbok Genuk knows about it. But he only showed his smile, and said if in fact the figure who possessed Mbak Ayu could change his temperament, according to the self-awareness that mastered it.
"If you get angry easily and hold a grudge against someone. The person who controls your soul and body will have the same desires as you. You should control him for good deeds, for he will follow your temperament by doing good. That's all I can explain, the rest learn from Jarwo. He knows more things than I do!"
"Loh Mbok Genuk knows Mr Jarwo too?" I asked by hooking both eyebrows.
Mbok Genuk just smiled and nodded his head. He explained that he also knew the late Mbah Karto.
"We met and helped each other in the supernatural. That's all I can explain, you better rest now. I have to do something to fence this house. So that the red can't go inside!" Mbok Genuk to stand up.
Me and Ma'am Ayu returned to the room, seeing Lala still awake by laying down her body.
"Why haven't you slept La? Tomorrow I'll go to your house, yes, I want to see Mr. Jarwo!" Mbak Ayu said while lying next to Lala.
"I'm thinking about Mbok Genuk's words. Looks like I have to call Senopati, I can't possibly meet and talk to her. I've had a hard time burying all my feelings, there's no way I'll ever see her again. I can only communicate with my son. And sorry Ma'am, I can't bring you home. Just ask Mas Jarwo to come, because tomorrow he will also go to this village!"
"Why did Mr Jarwo come here La?"
"Entah Ran, maybe there's something he wants to do. You guys go to bed first, I want to go ahead for communication with Senopati."
Lala stepped out, while me and Ma'am Ayu were just lying on the bed. Due to the overwhelming drowsiness, we both fell asleep. And in the morning when we woke up, Lala looked neat and folded the blankets.
"You've had La's bath? It was such a rush to take a shower!"
"Udah from earlier Ran, I used to get up early. Help make breakfast too. The hunt there took a shower, we ate breakfast together."
I walked to the bathroom, saw Wati was with Mbok Genuk preparing food for Pramono. The man was still acting like a five-ten-year-old boy. He was busy playing the game on his phone, while Mbok Genuk was feeding him.
"Funny Ran, suddenly I was like a babysitter of a childish adult man." Wati's chirps surprised me.
"Prophey Wat, hopefully he can recover as before."
"Do you think he wasn't like that?"
"Just ask Mbok Genuk. He'll tell you everything about your husband. Relax, everything will be fine. We're all here to help you." I said as I embraced Wati.
"Bauk ketek ish, shower there!" Gerutu Wati while covering her nose.
I just laughed at Wati's words, then went to the bathroom. After cleaning myself, I dry the towel behind the house. I saw Mbok Genuk talking to Mr. Jarwo. Both talks are very serious. Not wanting to interrupt, I went back inside. Lala was sitting with Mama and Papa, they were waiting for me to have breakfast.
"We wait for Ma'am Ayu for a moment yes, he wants to take a bath again!"
"Udah first Ran, I took a long shower. I can eat by myself!" Sahut Mbak Ayu while walking to the bathroom.
Mom and Dad started talking about my future. Seeing that Wati was married, Mama and Papa started talking about marriage to me. Even Lala joked, if she also wanted to quickly catch up with Wati.
"Lala has a candidate like him!" Mama looked at me meaningfully.
"You don't know, Rania has a candidate in Jakarta. Papa met yesterday with the same candidate!" Papa's voice made Mama curious.
"Is it really Om? I wonder who that lucky guy is!"
Not long ago Wati came with Pramono. They sat next to us, and he started discussing Mas Adit.
"Is that Mas Adit you mean?" wati said with a smile.
They all kept teasing me by discussing Mas Adit continuously. Until finally Mr. Jarwo and Mbok Genuk came together. Mr. Jarwo asked me and Lala to the front porch, because there was something he wanted to talk about. Mbok Genuk nodded his head at me, then joined Mama and Papa.
"You must have heard the explanation of Mbok Genuk to? He was not part of the Sumitro family. Although he is also allied with a supernatural figure, at least he does not have a bad purpose to harm others. You don't have to worry about it, because I think the explanation is true. Have you asked Senopati La for help?" Ask Mr. Jarwo by hooking his two eyebrows.
"I've called him all night, but Senopati does not know who is buto ireng who is allied with Mr. Mitro. He'll find out first. And Senopati is not sure he can persuade the buto ireng to side with him. Because that power is only held by the king of buto, namely his own father. But I forbid her to tell this matter to her homo." Said Lala while bowing her head.
"Why La? No need to hesitate to ask for help, did not you two separate well. Although your nature is different, just assume you are only distant relatives. To stop Mr. Mitro, you need help from the king of buto, the father of your son Senopati."
Lala seemed to just be quiet with her head down, I could not say anything either. I can't force Lala to do something she doesn't want to do. Now all decisions depend on Lala, whether she wants to communicate with her ex-husband or not.
